    This “comment” rocks! “Thank you” “Thank you”

  2. moose says:

    Costumers? Should we really encourage cosplay nerds by giving them their own special table?

  3. MrEvilBreakfast says:

    They’re implying that there are other tables! I never knew!!

  4. The Admiral says:

    No, “thank you,” possums.

    • dr handle says:

      That’s Edna Everage you’re thinking of – everybody tremble yer gladdies!

        • dr handle says:

          Edna Everage, mild-mannered megastar housewife from Moonee Ponds (just down the road from where I live) is the one who addresses her adoring fans as “possums”, and hands out gladioli at her gigs for her audiences to wave during her musical numbers – presumably gladdies are more seemly than cyalume sticks.

      • The Admiral says:

        I know…I effed up! And I was hoping no one would notice, ’cause my posts usually just blend in BUT NOT THIS TIME. My gladdies are drooping over this.

        • dr handle says:

          Chin up, possum, we’ll send Madge out to get you another bunch of gladdies. At least it’s only your gladdies drooping, think of poor old Norm, who died in 1988 after years of having a testicular murmur.

  5. saywhat says:

    My costume is at the “dry cleaners,” can I still get a table???

  6. deepeyes says:

    Best ‘The Incredibles’ reference of the day! Woohoo!

  7. Bob The Waffle says:

    Yay! I’m special!

  8. dr handle says:

    Shhhhh, don’t cause a scene, this is actually a cosplayers lure – you can’t see me sitting under the table with my shotgun.

  9. Christy says:

    Glad you like my photo, guys. Thanks!

    • Droll not Troll says:

      *looking at background* The cars are parked on the left side of the road, and the sun is shining- Australia?

  10. buckinarut says:

    Over there is the table for makeup artists. The over there, thank you, is the hairdressers’ table. The stagehands, you folks are over there by the potties.

    You actors are just going to have to wait for a table. If you’re Noh actors, we have a nice pedestrian path outside.

    • Droll not Troll says:

      The table for the mimes is over there. No, I know you can’t see it. They know the drill.

      • JohnB says:

        We usually keep the mimes in the invisible box.

        • dr handle says:

          Schrodinger’s Mime – if you put a mime in an invisible box, he could assume one of two states: irritating, or bloody infuriating. The point is, you don’t know for certain until you actually put him into the box. So you should nuke him from orbit – it’s the only way to be sure.

  11. onikirin says:

    I think its too ambiguous. The table might actually be for costumers….this should be moved to Failblog as a failed Engrish posting…

    • JohnB says:

      Yeah, and the Chick Point might have actually been for chicks, and the rest room might have been undergoing contractions, and the Rocking Elmo might actually crap your hands. We should disqualify any Engrish entry until it can be proved, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the author meant something other than exactly what he or she said. Or we could just laugh. Hmmm, tough choice…

    • Droll not Troll says:

      Please sit at the sad, 3-legged table in the back. We removed the other leg because there was something funny about it. Than k you.
      T hank you!

  12. SlamChowder says:

    Reminds me of Joey Tribbiani’s “I’m sorry” on Friends…

  13. Christy says:

    no, not australia. st. louis, missouri.
    but it’s funny you thought that because i used to live there.

    onikirin,
    i should have also included a panned-out version of the photograph. right next to that sign was another very similar sign with customers spelled correctly. it’s definitely engrish.

    • JohnB says:

      Wonderful example demonstrating that our fun here does not come from a “foreigners are so stupid” mentality. We can find Engrish even in countries where the native language is English!

      • dr handle says:

        I see the funniest Engrish signs at my local supermarket…

        • Droll not Troll says:

          Don’t you love the ones written by a store employee who failed to read the product name on the label, which was right there?

          • dr handle says:

            I take a red pen with me when I go shopping; I use it to cross things off my list as I go, and it also comes in handy to correct the various examples of Engrish that I encounter (I give each one a mark out of 10).

  14. dragonrady says:

    …and definitely funny.

  15. Jason D says:

    costumer?
    As in the people who help you get dressed backstage? Really?

    • JohnB says:

      Yes, really! Everything means EXACTLY what it says here on Engrish Funny! That’s where the “funny” part comes in. We are people who like to laugh at stuff that is perfectly serious and totally acccurate. We are all deeply disturbed.

      • buckinarut says:

        Deeply disturbed? Me???

        What a relief! Now I know it has a name. And I’m not alone.

        • I'm the chief says:

          you can put that do not disturb sign on your door.

        • PoodleGroomer says:

          Friends told me that they had spent a fortune on drugs to try to get where my mental state is naturally. I read “Zippy the Pinhead” to set my mental focus. I can’t do drugs; They’d straighten me out.

  16. JohnB says:

    Pity, we never really did get into those rather absurd and pointless quotation marks around the “only.” This message is “only” for those devotees of this site who continue to check out posts that have been rather dormant for days. Yes, I’m “only” referring to “you.”

  17. APersonOnTheInternet says:

    There is a double fail in this picture.
    DO NOT use quotation marks for emphasis.
    Triple fail, actually. Lol
